So, I am not sure how to review this Clove Bud oil. First, it does not smell like the spice cloves at all! An internet search returns data saying Clove Bud should smell the most like cloves. However, this does not have even the light floral scent, as I have since also read about Clove Bud oil having. What this does smell like is lightly burnt wood. Let me say again, not any scent of the spice cloves! Prior to buying this, I just used up an old bottle of clove essential oil, which I bought at a great store, and that clove oil had an outstanding clove scent! (manufacturer unknown) I have since ALSO read that my old oil was probably not clove bud oil, but probably clove stem or leaf oil, which usually has a spicier clove scent. So, maybe I am going to have to try that, because I want the clove scent as well as the medicinal numbing quality. I did a paper test with this Clove Bud oil. 45 minutes after placing 5 drops of this oil on a piece of card stock, the oil had not evaporated, and one drip still showed the sheen of reflected light. I do not know how quickly Clove Bud essential oil is supposed to evaporate, but this did not evaporate like my pure eucalyptus oil does. In fact, 24 hours later, there is still an oil soaked card stock, which appeared to have had almost no evaporation, so I have huge doubts. These things make me highly suspicious! Now, the next thing I did was to place a couple drops, full strength, on my finger, and rub it on my gums and lips. I got a quick burning sensation, and fairly quick numbing effect on my gums. (What I did is not recommended, but I have my own ways!) From this test, I tend to believe that the strength of this Clove Bud oil to be strong, even though the scent of it was completely unexpected and disappointing. If I had a lab, I would certainly run a spectral analysis on this, to find out for certain if it is pure. But, here is what I think: it may be pure, it may be good for the medicinal purposes which have been described by the seller, it does create numbing and burn on sensitive lips and gums, and I felt nothing from a full strength drop on my arm skin. However, if you want a clove-spice scent for perfume, room spray, or diffuser then this is absolutely not what you want, and maybe clove “bud” oil in general is not what we want. The thing is, I just don’t want to gamble with the disappointment of online purchases any more! I have to smell it! If I can’t smell it first, then just forget it!
